| Pembroke
is an attractive small city located in the centre of a wonderful outdoor
playground. It has a complete range of retail shops and services.
The pace of life is relaxed and you can find plenty to do. There are
theatre and musical societies, as well as clubs for yachting, hunting
and fishing. Algonquin Park's east side can be entered in 30 minutes
and there is white water rafting for the more adventurous at Westmeath.
Ottawa is only a short drive away and offers world class entertainment
and sporting events. |

For the healthcare professional, Pembroke offers a challenging,
yet supportive milieu in which to practice. The Pembroke Regional Hospital has already crossed the hurdles of restructuring and downsizing
and looks forward to the future. Our $36 million capital project
is underway and will house ICU, ER, Rehabilitation Medicine, Mental
Health, and Diagnostic Imaging. Far more important than the facility
is the impressive list of medical professionals we have managed
to attract. In the last two years, our medical staff has welcomed
the following specialists: two general surgeons, a psychiatrist,
a physiatrist, a radiologist, and an anesthesiologist. This means
we can offer a wide range of services to the people of Renfrew County
including general surgery, urology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology,
obstetrics/gynecology, dental surgery, anesthesiology, psychiatry,
internal medicine, rehabilitation medicine, and radiology.
